Koster, Schmidt and Sax are needed

I wonder if our neighbors in Snohomish County realize what direction their county council has been taking. The liberal left has its own agenda and has disregarded lawful regulations, causing harm to individual rights and the rule of law.

Please ask any of the of the liberal left – including county council members Dave Somers and Mike Ashley – about the proposed trees of significance and trees of heritage laws that they are considering and what it means to individual property owners. Ask why they use taxpayers’ money to preserve wetlands that cannot legally be developed any way. They claim that mitigation fees are not sufficient, but this claim is only to cover up the facts that traffic problems arose without timely, practical remedy and businesses that ordinarily would be contributing tax moneys are leaving the county.

Please take note of the media bias, personal attacks (without facts) and scare tactics that the liberal left uses. Think for yourself and vote to preserve your constitutional freeds by giving your county council vote to John Koster, Jeff Sax and Dave Schmidt. Remember that a society which permits anything will eventually lose everything.
